Reviews for Immigration: A Civil Rights Issue for the Americas
This timely and extremely valuable collection of original essays will soon be recognized as a seminal work on U.S. immigration policy. Consistently well-written and provocative studies integrate the distrubingly regressive U.S. policy resonse to contemporary immigration. The authors make explicit how democratic discourse and practice are eroded by a virulent anti-immigrant policy.
